Chapter 1495 1335: Unexpected Turn 2
Alex was secretly shocked by the amount of information he learned every time he was sent somewhere. It was almost unbelievable.
〖Tch! Don't be so surprised, I can do the same thing. He's just a clone.〗Silveria's voice rang in his head making him chuckle.
〖What is so funny?〗
'Nothing, you almost sound cute and I like it.'
〖Sweet talker. I'm not talking to you anymore.〗Silveria pouted but she was happy.
Alex wanted to mess with her but now wasn't the time, he had to play his part, and the others were waiting.
Looking at the others, one of them happened to be talking at the moment.
"What should we do, my Lord? Just a word from you and our brothers will fight them without any hesitation! We will go wherever you want us to!"
"That's right! We haven't had enough from these Orcs. I have always longed to kill that bunch of idiots!"
Toward those words, Alex looked on with his poker face. On the contrary, Alice frowned and turned to him.
"Mr. Alex. I feel that this matter is a little strange…"
"What's wrong, Miss Alice?"
The bustling crowd quietened. After the battle, Alice's position in their hearts as the aide-de-camp had been established strongly. Joe asked with puckered his brows and Alice nodded slightly.
"We're currently located by the perimeters of the Raven Forest on the Ice Field, so it isn't wrong to say that we're near the borders of the Dali kingdom. However, this area isn't bound by Kingsley's Kingdom, is it? If I recall correctly, we will reach the border of Silas Kingdom if we head down deeper into the Raven Forest and pass through Mr. Alex's territory. There isn't an inch of territory that belongs to the Kingsley's Kingdom along the line, so why did their army penetrate Renner Kingdom?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Now that you've mentioned…"
The crowd pondered in astonishment. Indeed. The location they were at was by the border of the Dali Kingdom and the Kingsley's Kingdom was right at the other end. The intersection of the three nations wasn't close along the borders at all. If that was the case, the Kingsley's Kingdom had entirely crossed over to Renner Kingdom territory and came all the way from the back to the front line of the border.
According to the Cavalryman, there were about 300 troops including Mages that encircled Johnson's team. With that much manpower, it would still be explainable if they sneaked through the borders. However, it didn't make sense for that many troops to penetrate the hinterland without being discovered by the Renner Kingdom.
At this moment, many of them had calmed down. They looked at one another with resentment, wrath, and helplessness in their eyes. After following Alex for such a long time, they had a general sense of the situation now. Moreover, most of them in the elite squad were rather sharp in their senses. They felt that these intruders perhaps didn't simply intrude by accident.
Alex lifted his head and the corners of his mouth perked out.
Then, he revealed a brilliant smile, the sky seemed to have darkened for a moment.
"—!"
Anvil was rooted in his place and he sucked in a deep cold breath.
Rumor had it that when their leader smiled like this it meant trouble. Something bad was bound to happen to the one this smile was directed at.
Alex's smile was full of indescribable threats.
Anvil felt a chill running down his spine as though he had been led to the guillotine and waiting for the ice-cold blade to take his head off. The shadow of death had shrouded him, but he couldn't escape the fear and despair.
Not only him, but the others also watched in silence. Even Anne had curled up and hid behind the healers, peeking at Alex from behind them.
"You know there's no meaning for us to guess what they're here for."
Rhode looked ahead and said with a smile.
"We will have to ask them the reason if we want to know…"
The tone of his voice was as calm as usual, but the next line sent chills down everyone's spines.
"… Get ready for battle and move out."

On the other side.
'What did these guys come from?'
This question cropped up in Johnson's mind. He vigilantly stared at the soldiers who had surrounded him. He was sure that these soldiers weren't disguised as bandits. They had strict discipline, were well-equipped, and also skillful. Moreover, their armor had the logo of the Kingsley's Kingdom.
No matter how they looked, they were no doubt the soldiers of the Kingsley's Kingdom.
But why are the people of that country here? And they also got us surrounded?
"We're the Cavalrymen of Grandell's duchy overlord. Who exactly are you guys and why are you doing this?!"
Johnson held down his inner wrath. Even though he held his men back from confronting these guys, he didn't feel great being surrounded by criminals. But then again, this was because Johnson hadn't been Alex's subordinate for a long time. Besides, he had been living in the South and his hatred toward the Kingsley's Kingdom wasn't as deep as the Northerners. Besides, after living in the South for so long, Johnson had become rather timid against Kingsley's Kingdom. He had no lack of smart brains, having been promoted to a commander in the Southern Legion. These powerful soldiers from the Kingsley's Kingdom came in aggressively and they appeared bold and confident with justice on their side. Just in case these soldiers were under a mission, Johnson felt the need to restrain his troops from getting into a conflict with them.
If Johnson knew about the clash between Alex and them that happened a few days prior, perhaps he wouldn't have such thoughts.
The soldiers kept hush to Johnson's interrogation, which left Johnson fuming. He was worried about the situation on Alex's side because he knew his team held a crucial role in this tactic. But now, he was held back by these soldiers. There were a few instances when he almost led his men to charge out of the encirclement. However, there were more enemies than they could handle and they would suffer grave injuries even if they managed to break the encirclement. Therefore, he swallowed his anger and hoped that they would give him a reasonable explanation. But these soldiers rudely disregarded him.
Suddenly, the soldiers made way for a man in heavy armor and an old Mage in a red robe. Johnson looked over hurriedly and sized them up. It was apparent that they were their commanders.
"Who are you guys exactly? Why are you surrounding us? You…"
Johnson stepped forth grudgingly. The surrounding soldiers drew their swords out of the sheaths and stopped him from moving an inch farther. The man in heavy armor turned to the old Mage.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Sir, what do you think we should do with them?"
"Hmm…"
The old Mage pondered in silence. He scanned the armor of Johnson and his Cavalrymen before turning back to the other commander.
"Judging from their appearance, their armor does indeed look like they're from the Dali Kingdom, the home of those darkness fanatics…"
"Then, that confirms it! Drag them away!"
The man gestured to his soldiers instantly as though he heard the answer that he had anticipated. The soldiers pressed forward to Johnson's group, but the Cavalrymen weren't willing to surrender just yet. They drew their weapons and resisted. Johnson sulked and even though he had been tolerating them, these guys from the Kingsley's Kingdom were too unreasonable, so he couldn't tolerate them any longer.
"I repeat. We're the Cavalrymen of Grandell's duchy overlord. What rights do you have to do this!"
"We're the Investigation Guards of the Kingsley's Kingdom Parliament."
This time, the man lifted his chin arrogantly.
"We have an official document from the Kingsley's Kingdom Parliament. Now, we suspect that you're related to a serious terror attack. I request that you lay down your weapons and follow us. If not, we won't hesitate to kill!
"Official my ass! What rights do you think you have… You bunch of bastards…"
Johnson's Cavalrymen chided while raising their swords. The man twitched his brows and gestured.
The soldiers from the Kingsley's Kingdom lifted their swords and pointed straight at Johnson's men. At the same time, a dozen Mages in white robes flew ahead from the back, aiming their staffs forward. Johnson and his men trembled in fear.
"We, in the name of the Kingsley's Kingdom Parliament, once again ask that you lay down your weapons and surrender immediately. If not, we will…"
"What will you do?"
An indifferent voice sounded from the back. Johnson revealed a glad smile and turned around quickly. He spotted a tall, thin, dark figure strolling toward them.
"Sir Overlord!"
Alex nodded to him. He narrowed his eyes and gazed at the crowd with an apathetic expression. The Black Prince had arrived in the place, he should play his role to perfection, Alex felt like since the beginning of this game he was roleplaying, well in any case it is fun.
